Please, mark your calendar... and join us for an upcoming Historic Event!
We will be having a Zoom Meeting with the Living Legend, the Tango Master... Facundo Posadas!
Date: SUNDAY MARCH 31, 2024.
Time: 3 PM (PACIFIC TIME).
This is happening in the context of A.R.T.S. (Afro Roots in Tango Society), that about 25 people of us created in 2010, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We would like to gather around Master Facundo Posadas and chat with him. Listen to his experience from the time he became professional, in Argentina, at age 19, in the Tango universe.
Facundo Posadas, is the great grand nephew of someone who composed more than 40 Tangos, Carlos Posadas. We are still dancing on some of his Tangos, re-arranged by renowned people we love. But quite often, the proper credit is not told, about the original Composer... Alas! That is just how things went and are going in the Tango world...
If you are not yet a member of A.R.T.S. , please, go to our website and sign the form to be included in our group and most importantly, in our mailing list.
Take the time also, to send a request to be part of the group, on Facebook.

Here is Facundo and his wife Ching-Ping-Peng.

IMPROVISING IN TANGO OR KIZOMBA
n many ways, it sits well to juxtapose the two dances, TANGO and KIZOMBA. They are both walking dances; they are both closed-embrace dances; they both have traveling figures; they both are rooted in the HABANERA, the call-response that sprang from the
